    And the resume is not significantly better. It might be a tiny bit better, but not in any way that means anything. This is a toss up fight.

    Eastman rocked Miranda, and then proceeded to get his ass destroyed. The stoppage was good. Eastman was going to hell either way.

    I wanted Eastman to win. I am no Miranda fan. I merely recognize the simple fact that neither one of these men have great resumes.
    The only way Miranda can win is by KO, And i doubt that because Abraham has a solid chin

    August...May the best man win

        Abraham faced Jantuah, a good 154 puncher..but no one with the power of Miranda.

        This should be a good fight, I will say that.

          Kofi Jantuah has decent power, he is the same guy who knocked out Marco Antonio Rubio in just 33 seconds, Kingsley Ikeke did not only have decent power but he was a 6'4 middleweight with a damn good jab, Howard eastman we already know has good power. other fighters he fought who had more skill than power, they connected at him but Abraham came back.

                  I've seen 6 of Abraham's last 7 fights and Pantera's last 5 fights. The way I see it is Abraham's skills have been on a decline in his last few fights. He looked OK against Eastman and good against Ikeke (however, Ikeke looked horrible. He wasn't the same Ikeke I've seen before. Looked scared throughout the fight). Since these 2 fights, Abraham has not been impressive. He is exhausted by round 6 of every fight and his defense has shown some holes. If he has half the power some people claim he has than he should have been able to KO both Shannon Taylor and Kofi. Truth is, he never dominated either fight. He won those fights, but did not look like a champion middleweight facing lighter weight medicore opposition.

                  Pantera has been looking sharper and improving his skills with each fight. In his first fight in the USA against Reese he looked very raw. Since than he has tightened up his D and looked much more polished with each fight. He still has holes in his D, but even the very experienced and tricky Eastman couldn't penetrate those holes enough to control the fight. His explosive and powerful offensive is actually a good part of his defense. His conditioning is unmatched to any boxer I have seen. The way I see it, Abraham will be worn down quickly (as he is against even lighter weight less powerful fighters). After 4-5 rounds Miranda will still be fresh and Abraham will be running. I will be surprised if Abraham makes it past 6 rounds.

                  Hey... this is boxing though. Anything can happen! I wouldn't be shocked if Abraham connects with a powerful hook and stuns Miranda. That could change the fight... Only time will tell.

                  Bottom line is, this will be a very exciting fight (unlike what I expect from Taylor/Wright). It has the potential to be an all at war and a fight of the year candidate.
